Letters-Patent No. 94,244, dated August 31, 1869.

v IMPROVEMENT IN CROUT-GUTTER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jeux GEORG SCHWARZ, of Indianapolis, in the county of Marion, and in the State oflndiana, have invented an Improved Creut- Gutter; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact. description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked. thereon.

The nature of 4the invention consist-s in the use' of a sliding gate filled with knives, for the purpose of cutting crout, and in the device used to produce the proper motion inthe said gate, said device to be made of wood, iron, and steel, or any other convenient and suitable materials.

Toenable others skilled in the art to make and use my said invention, I proceed to describe it more fully, as follows:

A B C D is a woodenboic, of the shape there rep-4 resented.

E F G H, the sliding gate, which runs in conven' ient gibs, as represented in Isection by E'and G of Figure 3 of said drawings.

L L, the eccentric slide, by means of which 'it is propelled by the crank M.

O O, a shaft turned by means of bevel-gear at I?, which 'is driven by the winch Q..

AR R and N are boxing, upon which the machinery of the device runs, and K K are nuts for adjusting the knives I I I, Sac., which turn for that purpose upon hand, and feeds the cabbage into the box A B`C D.

against the knives in gate E F G H with tbeleft hand. The reciprocating motion of the gate will constantly bring the edges of the'knives into contact with the cabbage, and so cut it oii in suitable pieces for making crout.

That I claim, and desire to secure by Lettersv Patent is-v 1,. The sliding gat-e E F G 'H, when constructed with the knives I I and the nuts K K, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination and arrangement of gearing P,Y

shaft O, crank M, cross-head on', slide L and knifegate E F G H, substantially as described.

3. The whole device, considered as a whole, when constructed and operated substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the Vforegoing specifica-V tion, I have hereunto set my hand, thisv 12th day of October, 186B.
